I’m wondering if native mobile apps are doomed to disappear as the web and mobile Browsers meet in the middle, the same way everything was a native app for quite some time in desktop land and now everything is a webapp.
- whywhywhywhy 5y agoIf you watch Apple they're doing everything within their power to make sure this doesn't happen. Current day because they've neglected Macs so much over the past few years your Mac is now mostly just a shell to run a jumble of electron apps (I used to love Mac Cocoa apps but can't even name one that has launched in the past 2 years) but if you follow what they're doing they'd prefer it if it was a selection of iPadOS apps instead.
- bruceb 5y agoDoubt it, mobile phones have only increased in features. More features, more likely need native app. What incentive to does Apple have to make people use apps less and the web more?
- baby 5y agoWhat features? Not every app needs access to your camera.
- Sargos 5y agoApple doesn't allow third party web browsers on iOS so native apps are the only viable solution until that changes.
- baby 5y agoMy guess is that this will be the subject of a lawsuit at some point.
